“the industrial chic space with exposed brick and hanging plants creates this perfectly curated casual meets sophisticated vibe that makes you want to just settle in for hours”

“the acoustics are TERRIBLE when its busy - hard concrete everywhere makes conversations like impossible during peak hours”

“finally found a spot in Oakland that stays open til 9pm and actually has real food - tehir grain bowls hit different when youre starving after a long day at work”

“teh lighting is WAY too bright for evening vibes, honestly feels more like a hospital cafeteria than somewhere cozy to eat dinner would go back”

“for real thier weekend brunch bowl with poached eggs and avocado toast stuff all combined into one dish is genius - all my favorites without the crazy overpriced nonsense”

“no mimosas or cocktails at all which seems LIKE a missed opportunity for weekend brunch service tbh”

“actually tehir house-made almond milk latte was seriously silky and perfect - no weird bitter aftertaste like most places do, and the barista actually nailed the rosetta pattern in the foam which is honestly impressive”

“teh wifi was spotty the whole time i was there which is rough when ur trying to work from a cafe yknow”

“tehir spicy grain bowl has serious heat with harissa that actually has depth beyond just burn, complex and smoky and perfectly balanced with cooling yogurt”

“i mean even their spicy options are pretty mild by my standards honestly so i had to ask for extra hot sauce on the side to get any real fire”
